I have thoughts. Maybe, God will speak through me and through this blog to someone else. If one person is touched by something He says to them through 'nightwatch', I am dancing :)Christ is my life.
Psalms 30:11,12 (AMP)
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness. To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

No More Games

I know....I just couldn't help but get into this devotional by Brennan Manning, "Reflections for Ragamuffins". "His Victorious Indwelling" is still probably the one that really does it for me, and just because there is such a wealth of thoughts of some of the greatest writers who are like-minded and weren't afraid to let people know some of the truth that was revealed to them. However, I digress....

Todays devotional by Manning:

"A fringe benefit for the believer en route to higher Christian consciousness is that ninety-nine percent of the emotional suffering caused by his addictive programming to security, sensation, and power disappears from his daily dance. He is able to drop all deceptive manipulative lower-order games - the money game, the security game, the male-female game, the power game, the knowledge game, the expert game, and so forth - and he presents himself simply to others: "Here I am." Free from any false self-image, he says, "It's all I've got."

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith unto this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2

I don't know about the ninety-nine percent......? Lots of lower-order games in his mind, eh? I would think there are so many more. :)
